These missile systems have been recently prohibited from supplying to Iran. In such a way Russia satisfied the request of the USA and Israel.

To disguise the components of the system they use life size inflatable mocks.

S-300 are intended for defence of large industrial and administrative objects, military bases and control points of air and space enemy attacks. However it can also shoot down a missile.

Officialy the system has never participated in wars. However this Soviet old model hit all the targets during training.

Moscow is equipped with some circles of air defence. Such circles are represented by dozens of military units with air defence complexes located in various places of the Moscow region and in the capital itself.

Yep, and the countries that deal with iran against the laws, will be the first to scream for the protection of the USA when iran threatens them with nuclear weapons. You watch, france will come running.

I think you are mistaking Russia for Greece if you think that Russia is always broke. Reason why USAID was kicked out of Russia was because Russia told the USA that they have enough cash to take care of themselves and do not need donors. unlike the USA of course which owes zillions of dollars to China.

I am quite pleased the missile system is NOT fully automated, It was a Russian chap who is credited with preventing WW3 when the computers told him an all out attack was happening and he used his common sense to keep his finger off the button, Imagine if that system had been automatic.

You have to wonder about the mentality of the Russia politicians at this stage in the game. The US took down surface to air missile defenses in the continental US in the late 70’s and early 80’s. The only countries still running active missile bases are generally countries that have a low world opinion. If you have an active fighter base you don’t need missiles which Russia finds out about once a month when British, Canada, and US fighters intercept their bombers…

What the hell are you on about? i guess the cocaine that you are so fond of taking is really kicking in big time. Russia has thousands of aircrafts, Surface to Air missiles, Anti Aircraft, Thermobaric weapons, Submarimes that can prowl the oceans for months unnoticed and for your information its one country that can never be defeated by any nation. THATS A FACT.

You guys should inform yourself before writing such nonsense. Fact is, that Russia had to pay more than $800 million to Iran for breaching its contractual obligation of delivering the S-300 missile systems on time and for compensation of pre-payments made by Iran. I wonder what would have happened to Cuba and to Vietnam if the USSR had acted in such a cowardly and shabby manner as Russia has towards Iran?
